Hi guys,

Does somebody know if there is a Ninjatrader indicator or strategy available that gives an alert when an instrument moves an X amount of ticks in an X amount of time?

Many thanks,

Sandor

A sound would be best but if there is something available with a popup window, I would be very happy too.

Thanks a lot!

Here is a skeleton then:
 
Code
                            
...
private 
int window 10
private 
int moveLength 5;
...
protected 
override void OnBarUpdate() {
   if ( (
CurrentBar window) && (!Historical)) {
      if (
Range()[window] > moveLength)
        
PlaySound(Cbi.Core.InstallDir.ToString()+"\\sounds\\Beep.wav");
      }
   }

   }


Can you elaborate on your skeleton code?

Input tick size
Current Bar is X tick size
then draw vertical or highlight paint bar and alert with window
This is for either Up or Down tick size
Not based on time, just tick size
